Title: Friends Reunited
Post by: tel on April 30, 2008, 01:32:48 PM
Has anyone been on there recently?

I have been on there yesterday and today and it has got some strange changes. If you go to trace a female, using her maiden name it now displays her married when you check the profile!

Also it produces info from whatever schools etc. you have set yourself up in, and these display the married name instead of the maiden name you see in the listings.

CHasing old girlfriends? eyes:

If they're old, I am not chasing them.

But seriously, the names that were displayed from where I worked were not familiar to me. On checking, they were girls I had worked with and who had since got married.
If someone did want to find them, they could now have their names.

That to some people, is very worrying.

Which is why I will not go near Friends Reunited. If I want to be in touch with someone I already am. If I am not "In touch" it is because I don't bloody want to be. evil:

Quite so. I had one e mail from a nutter at our old school. She lives in Cyprus!! eeek:

She was shagging some kid's dad at lunchtimes and ended up as the stepmother of a boy in the year below us! eeek:

I started using it when we organised a reunion of our old computer department and it was very useful. I did start to understand just how much you can find out people through the interweb and also how careless people are, about what they put onto sites.

Anyway, off to find TMR now. Will find a suitable card for him.

I have just got an email from FR saying a friend is trying to contact me.

On checking, I don't remember her.

She appears to have been at school with my ex.  scared2:

It is puzzling - is FR sending out these messages themselves or are they from a real person?

I've had others from people I know but this is very different. FB suggest friends of friends so is this something like that?
Apart my ex, the only school friend of hers that I can remember was her best friend and this aint her.

BTW the school was known as "Pros Paradise" a play on its initials.
